Natural Glamour in NYC Apartment

May 14, 2011 in Beige, Celebrity Homes, Classic, Eclectic, Glamorous, Hottest Designers, Living room, Mirror / Wall Acessory, Natural

This is the New York apartment of British born Guinness heiress Daphne Guiness. Designed by Daniel Romualdez, this apartment is a sweet union of nature and glamour. Just the way we (or at least I) like it.

With dark high gloss hardwood floors and a ceiling covered in shimmery wallpaper, the walls are painted a rosy shade of beige. Red accents adds a pinch of spice to this soft palette. Notice Daphne’s collection of crystals displayed throughout the room.

The opposite end of the same room features a mirrored wall and a cherry red velvet sofa. How lovely! I wouldn’t mind the David LaChapelle photograph either.

This floor-to-wall painting by British artist Damien Hirst took my breath away when I first saw it. Isn’t it lovely?

*

Hirst is the Artist who suspended a Tiger Shark in Formaldehyde (how do you feel about that?), I’m sure you have all seen it. His butterfly paintings are available here.

*

You can see the rest of Daphne’s beautiful apartment on Architectural Digest, included her “hall of mirrors” =)

Divine Design

March 11, 2011 in Beige, Home Bar, Hottest Designers, Living room, Mirror / Wall Acessory, Modern, Soft and Light

I’ve been a huge fan of Amanda and Jolene of Domicile Interior Design for years now. In 2009 I featured a bedroom they designed (click here to see it), and it’s still one of my all-time favorites.

*

It made me wonder what it is it about their design style that is so unique?

*

First of all, they create these unusual color palettes. Beige, coral and yellow, not a color combo you see often, but the result is surprisingly wonderful. There’s this understated cheerfulness to it.

*

Second, their extensive use of brass and golden finishes. Isn’t that side table amazing?

*

I’m sure many of you recognize this dreamy home office from Rue Magazine. Beige yellow and turquoise this time.

*

Third, their impeccably arranged vignettes. Wish my desk looked like that =)

*

I featured this image in an earlier post about chic trays (click here to read it), photo via Rue Magazine. You can still enter my giveaway here to win a personalized acrylic tray ;)

*

The girls obviously master the art of mixing vintage with high end.

*

You can find beautiful hand made wall art here.

*

Pure eye candy.

Happy Weekend my Friends!!

Eye Candy by Horchow

January 1, 2011 in Glamorous, Lighting, Mirror / Wall Acessory, Rugs and Carpets

George II chandelier

What better way to start the new year than by enjoying some serious eye candy? Horchow certainly has a lot of that to offer:

*

Retro Glamour chandelier, White Coral chandelier

There are so many insanely beautiful chandeliers out there, how could you possibly choose just one? Guess the choice becomes easier when you have an actual room to place it in..

*

Tuxedo chandelier, Openwork chandelier

I generally think black lamp shades are a bad idea, but this chandelier I like. How about an open style chandelier? Better source of light I guess.

*

White baroque chandelier, Andretti chandelier

Classic white versus red hot?

*

Baroque mirror

Love white on brown! Always looks clean and sophisticated.

*

Oversized beveled mirror, venetian mirror

I’m a huge sucker for moody pictures, I’m sure a great photo could sell me anything haha!

*

Venetian Scroll mirror, white fretwork mirror

Beautiful mirrors in intricate frames. Real showstoppers.

*

Catherine sconce

How about a classic scone? Such beautiful details on this one.

*

Regatta wall sconce, Pagoda sconce

I don’t know what is more perfect; the sconces or that door?

*

Bird on a Branch candle holders, oversized wall lamps

Love and Love. Enough said.

*

Speckles cowhide rug

Love these gold and silver speckled cowhide rugs, but since I don’t eat cows, I won’t be getting one of these  ;)

*

Ikat rug, Pearl Blocks hide rug

Ikat is taking over the world. And so is cowhide rugs.

*

City Splash hide rug, Arabesque rug

I must admit this cowhide rug is just gorgeous, what do you think? If you prefer something more bold, the “Arabesque” rug might be something for you  =)

*

Scroll side table

Organic lines and swirls have bin huge for a while now. How do do feel about this trend?

*

Crocodile embossed table

Just had to include this fun crocodile embossed table. Can be used as side table or paired up as a coffee table.

*

Flowers side table, Atlas side table

Beautiful lines and shapes.

*

Purple faux flowers

Pretty faux flowers. Great idea to put water in the vase, makes them look more real.

*

Glass obelisk, horse statue

Pretty trinkets.

*

Metal bamboo sconces, jewelry boxes

Hope you saw something you liked =)

Opulent Blue Bedroom

December 7, 2010 in Bedroom, Blue, Bright, Budget Friendly Design, Chic, Color Palette, Dramatic, Glamorous, Hottest Designers, Luxurious, Mirror / Wall Acessory, Modern

Whenever I hear the name Mary McDonald, words like grand, bold, opulence and regency come to my mind.  Just take a look at Mary’s own bedroom:

Isn’t it fabulous? Dramatic colors, heavy drapery and bold patterns.

*

My favorite aspect of Mary’s bedroom is the great and highly affordable framework of the room. See the fabulous carpeting? The bold pattern is obviously painted right on there. The second to-die-for part of this bedroom is the molding. A trip to your local hardware store and a bit of practice with the angle saw, this room should be pretty affordable to emulate (although the original is anything but affordable ;)

*

Get the look with BM Mariner Blue, a healthy dose of crisp white and pops of pale pinks. And don’t forget to add some glamour with gold details.

*

UPDATE: One more picture:
